Calligraphy Pics

I finally have some pictures of Calligraphy to show you!

Here it is during the sewing-on-the-buttons stage. This was after a nice long soak and gentle blocking.

Augie is chief button inspector, and he takes his role very seriously.

Here are a few pics of me wearing the finished sweater.

The full-length one shows super clearly how big the body is. Oops. Oh well . . .

Iโ€™m already wearing this in the cooler evenings and mornings weโ€™ve been having, and I love it. The Peace Fleece yarn is surprisingly soft and comfy, and the floppy collar is great for opening up if I donโ€™t need the extra warmth or pulling close around my neck if I do. And the buttons! For some reason the orange buttons make me really happy.

If Iโ€™d paid attention to my gauge from the beginning, this sweater would have been just about perfect. I canโ€™t wait to make another and get the fit right. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to it, but it just might be sooner rather than later, maybe even after I finish Gramps.

    You know, I wasn’t sure how those buttons were going to look on it but I really like the color. And as for the size, I like things to fit loosely so it looks perfect to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

Talk to me!
